To Our Students, Parents and School Community:
Inter-Lakes High School is a community of critical thinkers and effective
communicators. All of our courses are designed to give students the
opportunity to practice and hone their critical thinking and effective
communication skills. In addition, we strive to create learning activities
that give students the opportunity to apply their critical thinking and
effective communication skills to generate positive change in themselves, in
their school and in society
The comprehensive program at Inter-Lakes High School is designed to give
students ways of knowing, thinking about, making sense of, and experiencing
the world through a variety of disciplines. Each department has stated in
the Program of Studies the outcomes for students that will result from
taking courses in that discipline.
We are living in exponential times. The amount of information available is
doubling and tripling at amazing rates. A study done by the United States
Department of Education concludes that the greatest predictor of success in
both college and the workforce is the degree of complexity of your high
school course of studies. The students of today are our nation’s greatest
resource. Challenge yourself to take the hardest courses that you can. Fill
each of the 32 opportunities for credit afforded to you at Inter-Lakes High
School.
Our job is to prepare you for careers that do not exist and to solve
problems that have not yet arisen. Your ability to think critically and
communicate your thoughts is what will give you the competitive edge; in
your further education; in your career and in tomorrow’s world.
Keep that in mind as you plan and carry out your high school education.
Please also keep in mind that school, like life, is what you make of it. Get
in the habit of working hard; push yourself beyond your comfortable limits
and participate in co-curricular activities so that you have a well-rounded
experience.
The Inter-Lakes School District recognizes that providing a quality
education is a shared responsibility among parents, students and the school.
Therefore, we strongly encourage parents to play an active role in the
development of each student’s four-year course of study.
Students and parents should study the opportunities available to them at
Inter-Lakes High School in order to arrive at decisions that best meet
individual needs. Teachers, counselors and administrators are ready to help.
Do not hesitate to call on them for assistance.
Sincerely,
Patricia Kennelly
